Mezza Notte is a beautifully designed restaurant that serves really good pizza and Italian fare…read more Cuisine: 5 stars Service: 3 stars Ambiance: 4 stars Romantic: No C and I were here about 6-7 weeks ago and enjoyed a pizza and wine. The young woman provided excellent service. It was late, so the restaurant was largely empty, hence quiet.. We returned last night and, upon walking in, were taken aback by the noise level. Holy cow. The pizza was again quite good, but the service, not so much, The server was friendly, but missing in action. We literally had to ask for a menu, ask for parmesan, ask for the desert menu, ask for the bill; each time waiting to catch his eye before we could ask. Staffing, unfortunately, is a problem.

We came specifically to try their Spaghetti Cartoccio, which unfortunately didn't turn out as well…read moreas we hoped. The homemade squid ink spaghetti only faintly tasted of squid ink and didn't pair that well with the tomato sauce which overwhelmed it. The mussels were not open (sign they aren't fresh) and had sand or pieces of shell in it. Tiger shrimp was a good size and the calamari was tender. It wasn't a hit at the table. The rest of the dishes were much better. I would recommend the pizza or the Vitello Saltimbocca instead. Pizza had great texture and the toppings are creative. Dessert of tiramisu is light and delicious, that was a winners.

We ended up sitting at the bar as we made our resos a bit late. I highly recommend making a reservation considering how busy it was and how small the place is. Food: - fried calamari: 5/5 stars. I'm a sucker for a good calamari and this hit it on the dot. The sauce it came with was really good too! The food came very quick. - vodka pasta: 4.8/5 stars. This was absolutely delicious. I also love vodka pasta and this was made to absolute perfection. - truffle mushroom pasta: 5/5 stars. The pasta pieces were full of flavour and rich mushroom truffle taste. Delicious - Tiramisu dessert: 4/5 stars. It was yummy don't get me wrong but it was a bit expensive for the size of it. It had some Nutella hazelnut flavours too which was yum. Overall, highly recommend and I would 100% come back again!! The kind man at the bar also made my friend and I paper flowers that we got to take home. Great service.

Both were really great, though I found the meatballs a bit tight. My boyfriend loved the sauce. The palate cleanser was super fun and refreshing. I ended up getting the lobster pasta for an entree and my boyfriend got the tenderloin goulash gnocchi. I found the gnocchi to be so light and pillowy, and really enjoyed the bites of his, but I beyond loved mine. The sauce was super creamy but not heavy at all. The table side pepper just added the right touch to the pasta. Desserts were super yummy, and the service was lovely. Overall a great dinner and we would absolutely go back!

Our family has been patronizing 12 tables for some time…read more Because of their consistency with both food & service.. Last night was a real disappointment mostly on the caliber of service. Two servers were run off their feet in managing a full restaurant. When asking for another basket of bread, as only two were initially provided for our table of nine, we were told that the restaurant had just accepted double the amount of reservations. And as a result they were short on bread. We also found completed dishes were lingering on the table for far too long before they were removed. The key lime pie was particularly modest in size. On a positive note their baked eggplant, $19, starter was delicious and pleasing in both taste and texture. As undercooked eggplant is overly chewy. At that price point a more generous portion would have been appreciated. The homemade gnocchi achieved the right consistency in texture, It was delicate and light. And the truffle sauce I chose out of the three options had a real umami flavour.

A lively tratorria with positive energy…read more One of the better wood oven pizzas I've had in Toronto. Not overly doughy with a crisp base, ample crust and quality ingredients. I had the Quattro Stella, mushrooms, artichoke, prosciutto cotto and olives. My wife, from Rome, went with a white pizza, BORGORICCO. Burrata, zucchini, cherry tomato & mozzarella. It looked amazing, sadly she refused to share but she did rave about it after. Drink wise we kept it simple with a glass of Valpolicella Ripasso and prosecco. For dessert we split a tiramisu. This was more of a sponge cake version, good for what it was. Friendly and knowledgeable service. Prices were fairly standard and acceptable for the quality. Look forward to returning to try some of the other items on their inviting menu. Who am I kidding I'm sure I'll end up having the pizza again, it was that good.

What stood out for us was the delicious gnocchi- it was so chewy and the cream sauce wasn't too heavy. The bolognese was also good. Service was pleasant and the server checked in frequently but I think it could have been warmer. The restaurant feels quite upscale with a dark ambience.

Found this place randomly while looking for somewhere local that wasn't a chain or super flashy --…read moreand wow, I've been back a few times already. The food here honestly hits. The grilled salmon with veggies was perfectly done -- tender, flavorful, and not drowned in sauce. You can tell they actually care about how things are cooked. The seafood pasta was next-level too -- rich, a bit of heat, and loaded with mussels and shrimp. Even the fried calamari was crispy without being greasy. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, not like something pulled from a freezer. But it's really the vibe that gets me. Chill music, cozy setup, not too loud. It's the kind of place you can pull up with your laptop, have lunch, and just zone out for a bit. Everyone working there's friendly but not over-the-top -- just good energy all around. Feels like a hidden gem -- simple, local, and real. Yorkdale needed a spot like this

The space is on the smaller side, so seating can be a bit limited, but we were still able to find a spot without any issues. The portions were generous too. We had a few slices left over to take home, which was a nice bonus. Overall, a really tasty pizza and a spot I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Grabbed a pizza to go…read more Ordered a half pepperoni and half killer bee. They don't let you do half on all pizzas but the first 5 or 6 on the menu. The pizza was great. Nice crust with a good chew. Good amount of toppings. Really solid New York style pizza. Dave Portnoys pizza review went to their downtown location and gave it a 8.4 if you follow him. There was no parking on Avenue but I found some parking on the residential street just North of the restaurant. The inside is really nice with comfy seating. Not a ton of seating but I think they get a lot of takeout. Service was good but I did have to wait more than the 20 mins they said as they seemed to be dealing with online orders.
